Ok, I used to not be hosted, and just post on this forum for fun, but i was watching my credits go to waste, so i decided to get hosting, and give away all of my credits to members who really need it. Now I don't just give them away for nothing, because that would just be boring. I'm going to make a series of challenges that members of the trap17 forum can participate in, and winners get free credits. As of now, my website is thus:
creds.trap17.com. I know it needs a bit of work, but I did it quickly. Anyway, I posted here to get the members opinions on this! The challenges will be posted on the website, and when the website is done, I will put a link in my sig so that everybody has a chance to win credits. I'm not really sure what kind of challenges I'm going to make yet, I was thinking trivia and stuff, but if you have a better idea, post it here! |

One suggestion I would make is for the challenges maybe you could have hacking challenges too |

Hey,
I really liked your idea! Nice that you are using it so positively. If the idea works out and it isnt a scam I will definitely donate my credits too so that people can earn it but make sure that people do not cheat for the credits. Maybe you should put a quiz based on trap17 Good luck and hope it works out. |

Interesting concept although a bit costly as well, because what most people don't know about especially those who don't use the transfer system is that a 3% credit tax is set up on transfer, so it will cost you a bit more to transfer credits to those who win them. This also applies to those who donate credits as well through the transfer system and so you will have to build up credits to not only cover the costs to those who get them but also the transfer rates as well. As for the challenges NO HACKING because you don't know what kid of problems you will be creating with those kind of challenges on the server and the admins already have enough problems with spammers and other server related problems that they don't need to fix this.
I would assume you have a game plan for the award system especially if you have more then 1 person winning the quizzes and other challenges because you won't be able to cover all the winners especially through donations. Of course you could purchase credits but that will get a bit expensive as more and more people enter and win.I wouldn't worry about a design for right now, but how to deal with credits and how to award them. |

I wasn't really thinking of making it that big maybe just have like a challenge a week with the prize about 10 creds and the first one to PM me the answer wins. As for the donations, I really don't need donations for this, its basically something to help me get myself off my lazy *bottom* and do some posting here at trap17!
I haven't done too much with the site recently seeing as I'm very busy, but I'm graduating next saturday, and ill put up the first challenge this summer! The website is up and running and the first challenge is up! Anybody who wants a quick 5 credits can pm me the answer! |

Wow nice Idea you really have that many credits you are giving them away?( Sorta giving them away ) I think it is a great idea and that everyone should try and participate in this. But remember I am pretty sure that you and the person you are giving the creds to each need 30 right?

The first challenge is up and I submitted it, you should set up degree's of difficulty because you have to remember some of us have been here a long, long time, and so most of know this forum inside and out. So I thought I through out that suggestion to help it make the challenges more interesting.
